EP's and Concierge Care
Started by LiamNeesons
Only for the mafia.
True, but not only can they afford it, it's all paid under the table. Win win.
What city has the largest mafia?
Moscow
But if the russian mob is unhappy with you you wont be around for long.
Anybody willing to do whatever the "client" wants is equipped to do concierge care. You're being hired not to make medical decisions and "do the right thing" but to do what your "client" wants but lacks the medical license/DEA# to do for him/her self.
It makes Press-Ganey look like one of those "What Kind of X Are You?" quizzes on Facebook.

Absolutely.
Just think about it...
Isn't Emergency Medicine just concierge medicine, with:
All of the downsides (always being available for anything and everything, 1st priority equaling "customer" satisfaction) and,
None of the upsides (freedom from administrators and business types, Derm-like office hours, full control of practice environment, lack of Joint Commision/Press-Ganey/EMTALA)?

If concierge medicine were as easy to get paid in as everyone thinks it is, there would be a lot more of them. Lots fold up due to lack of people willing to pay.
Not EPs doing it here but 1. That being said the PCPs are flocking to it. Most are doing well. There are a lot of moderately wealthy retirees here and other wealthy people which surely help keep their businesses alive. At the least this keeps people out of the ED which in theory is good.
Depends on the model. I've seen a couple of concierge docs who used the ED as their lab/EKG/radiology suite.
That makes sense. That doesnt happen here though. they can get all this done quickly on an outpatient basis. I will say I have been impressed with the attentiveness these guys provide their patients. They almost always call in, talk to us, give us useful info etc.
Whats funny is that patients sometimes believe these guys will show up in the ED to see them. That level doesnt exist here.
